EniJenni,
Helping is mostly what we are here for, don't let PyroPhin put you off. I can tell from your team number that you are on a second year team. It really takes at least four to five years for a team to get it's act together.
Yes, the info you needed was in the manual, but there is often a certain level of expertise needed to realize that the answer to your question is sitting in front of you. You see the answer, you just don't comprehend it.
Last night I was working in one of our sponsors machine shop. Now I've been around shops for more than twenty five years, but last night I saw something on a table I'd never seen before. I didn't know what this strange object was so I asked about it. It was a thread file. You use it to clean up threads cut on a lathe. Just the thing for the job and I could tell by looking that it would work in that application. But until I was told, I had no idea what I was looking at or that it was an elegant solution to a problem.
Unfortunately it was not the problem I was working to solve.
So keep asking questions and someday you too will be giving the answers
